Aye Carramba! Hooley cow…STOOOOOOOPID computer, it broke down…argh………….
Sorry for the long wait.. …….Err…. Okay. This chapter is a bit longer… this is where the story picks up a little. Um, just bear with me, I gotta get the mood down for a little bit longer….
Disclaimer: Again, I do not own DBZ, or anything related to it. Akira, I love your work, and would never steal it. Besides, it's cooler to make up nonsense fanfics anyway (to me, atleast). The only thing I own of value is my Swiss army knife which none of yous would actually want to steal o.o

Chapter 1- The "Date"
"Where are you taking me, Gohan?" asked Videl as they flew across the landscape.
"To visit an old friend, or rather, old friends." Gohan smiled. "I believe you know them." As they kept on flying, Videl wondered where they were headed. She didn't recall knowing anyone around these parts.
"We're HERE!" Shouted Gohan as he pointed down. Videl saw a nest and something moving………..
"CAW! CAWWWWW!" It was an animal! They landed at the side of the nest. Suddenly Videl remembered…. It was the animal Gohan tried to rescue that day………...
…………..Gohan, dressed as Saiyaman, had tried to rescue Chobi the little flying dinosaur, from the circus. He had hoped to bring the dino back to his nest before it's parents came, if it weren't for Videl. That day, she finally cornered Saiyaman. She accused him of stealing. Gohan kept trying to warn her, but…….. finally, the parents came, raging mad, trying to get their Chobi back. In deparation, Gohan called out his name- halfway- to let them know it was him. Although he didn't reveal his whole name, the dinosaurs reconized his voice and stopped attacking. And Videl got enough of his name, "Go", to piece two and two together. So the next day, she blackmailed him at school into teaching her how to fly, and now here they are………..
geez, I was a bit stupid to think that Gohan would have actually stolen Chobi like a thief….. she thought. but, actually, there is a good side to the blackmailing…. I'm actually getting to know Gohan much better, and he isn't anything like the 'geek' Sharpner tries to insist to me…. Like I would believe Sharpner anyway.
Videl smiled in spite of herself. She reached out and gave the little dinosaur a pat.
"Hey, little feller, how are you?" Chobi cawed happily. But then all of a sudden…..
"CAW! CAAAAAAWWWWW!!!!" Videl froze. Although she knew that the little guy liked her, she wasn't so sure that his parents actually forgave her yet. Gohan saw her tense up and said,
"Aw, don't worry 'bout it, Videl."
She still wasn't sure, but it turned out that Gohan was right. The parents were very happy to see her, and, to show their appreciation, gave her a fish, which Gohan graciously offered to put in his bag until they retuned to his house. After a while, gohan stood up and said,
"Videl, I think we'd better go. Chobi is getting ready to eat and I want to show you a few more places". Videl agreed, and so they went in flight, waving to the three creatures.
"Sayonara! See you later, Chobi!" yelled Videl as she followed Gohan.
"CAWW! CAAAAWWW!" (translation: "Good luck with Gohan! He's an airhead, but, nevertheless, we hope you marry the well-meaning boy!")

"Come on, Videl, we're almost there!" Gohan looked down, searching for something. "There! You see it?" Gohan pointed to a small house with a creek running nearby. They landed near the front door and he opened it. "HELLOOOOOO! Anybody home?" A room opened and a girl with long brownish hair, looking Videl's age came out.
"Gohan! Ossu! Haven't seen you for ages !" the girl beamed and Videl couldn't help but notice how pretty she was and how wide Gohan's grin was. She forced herself to smile.
"Nice to meet you." She said as she offered her hand. The other girl shook it.
"Oh! I almost forgot!" Gohan straightened up and said the introductions. "Lime, meet Videl. She's a friend from school. Videl, this is Lime. She and I go way back." Videl flinched at the words "way back". She was starting to get angry and regretting that she agreed to go with Gohan in the first place. Lime, however, did not notice.
"Would you like some cookies?" She offered.
Videl said "No thank you." Lime shrugged her shoulders and turned to Gohan.
"So, how's it going, Gohan? Has anything happened since Cell?"
Now Videl was fuming. She started to walk to the screen door. "I'm going outside, Gohan." She said as she opened it.
"Okay, Videl! Wait for me outside! I won't be long!"
"Sure thing." She said, although she had no intention of doing it. She planned to fly home as soon as she was out the door.

(A/N—Things get a bit messed up, eh? Check out the next chapter (when it's up) to see how Gohan and Videl deal with it.
Oh, yeah…… about the Japanese…….. I am not japenese and I don't pretend to be. I know *extremely* basic Japanese and can string together, like… three sentences if I try hard. However, there are a few words that I need to put in my story for emphasis. They are pretty easy to figure out, for all you non-speakers (like me), so, no sweat. If you have any questions, you could always ask me. –chichi ^.^
